Random rhetorical questions used as titles for VisualPliitik's features does not, in my view, constitute evidence that the answer to those title questions is always "Yes" -- but in this case, I'm not going to spend the next 18 minutes to find out.
UAE (Dubai) exists in its present form because there was wealth there to pay foreign workers attractive wages, and they now constitute 88% of the population. I cannot see any avenue in Djibouti to follow that model.

I'm not saying whether or not it's a realistic goal. Just saying there are people who want it to become that. Will be interesting to see how they deal with this cyclone.
The closest African Megacities to being anything Asia like are
Nicer and newer parts of Cairo.
Parts of Johannesburg and Sandton (J-burg-Pretoria is over 10 million).
Lagos- Eko Atlantic is very Asian like project but hasn't been completed.
Kinshasa- probably the poorest of the 4 megacities and isn't likely to have any Asian like structures in it. only one of the 4 cities that doesn't have a 100 billion dollar economy.
That is correct. In every sense except plate tectonics, north Africa is a different continent, separated by the Sahara Ocean.
Cairo is a city on the African continent, hence its an African City. If you look up a list of biggest cities in Africa it is there. If you look up which continent is Cairo on it says Africa, continents have never been split by their plates or else we would have like 20 continents. Also the Sahara isn’t an ocean their is well over 2.5 million people living there, their are likely not even 20 people who live permanently in the ocean. Sure it’s sparsely populated but just because a place is sparsely populated doesn’t mean it’s the start of a new continent.
